Not that great, I am sure in another year or two E.D. Walker will be a better school. Sadly the students attending now are suffering from the lack of care towards their learning. There are a few teachers who try their hardest and they are amazing, but when you have a sub who gives you free time for 2 months how do you expect the students to pass a test on something they have not learned. I will not be sending my daughter back here next year for her last year of middle school.

I have been a parent here for four years. The school continues to improve each year, especially under the leadership of Dr. Stout. There are now 12 pre-high school AP classes being offered, dual language and tons of extra-curricular activities to keep the kids engaged. I have no regrets in sending my three kids here and would do it again if I had to make the choice.

Doesn't do what it needs to do to be the best middle school in Dallas. It's in a great area, but can't get neighborhood kids to attend. Should have more STEM type programs to attract parents away from private schools.

This school is horrible. The principal, Dr. Stout does not know what she is doing. There have been 19 fights this semester alone. It all started when she announced on the intercom that if we fought, we would go to DAEP. Of course nothing happened to the people who fought, so everyone wants to fight now. Then she has is going to this draft class which we hate and the teachers hate. It shortens our classes that we really need. It causes us to have to attend 8 classes in one day. This is so tiring. The teachers even hate it. Supposedly, the principal wants the rich kids in the neighborhood to come to this school, so she doesn't want anyone to know what goes on here. Kids fight and there are no consequences. I actually fear for my life, but I can't go to another school because this is the school I'm assigned to. She doesn't even treat the teachers like professionals from what I hear. She makes them clock out as if they are hourly, plus she has them working 15 minutes past the district time. I know that part because my mom's friend is friends with a teacher there and she tells my mom. This school is on a one way trip to the bottom with the principal leading the way.

The overall environment was on-and-off uncomfortable and unsafe. The teachers, for the most part, sympathized with us dearly on the tiring work we had to endure, but others were ones that most people cowered under. For example, my friend, who tried avoiding her strict teacher one day because of her absents and low grades, was caught hiding in the reading classroom during lunch and was furiously yelled at, which caused her to run to the cafeteria and cry in front of us (she was usually an upbeat person). For example, the sick student who was forced to do push-ups for an extended period of time imposed by a gym teacher.Typically there were the "bad" kids who did anything to cause trouble and go against authority, which we had to brace the punishments because everyone was included in discipline. But when it got to the point that they were regularly blocking the stairwells during passing periods, placing stink bombs, throwing food fights almost every week, and causing a standoff between themselves and the principal in an emergency assembly because of "our" behavior, it was really, really annoying. I realized that there was barely any school spirit by the time I got to the last year. No one really comes to donate stuff in the boxes sent to charity (aka the people excessively reminding us that we have to). You can't go to a dance or event in this school without paying any money for food and such because of the low budget. And only about 10-15 people (including parents) show up to concerts.This school literally felt like I was in a prison. A month to the end of the school year, we had silent lunch because of several incidents. We were also strangely hunted down for being anywhere but in the cafeteria for lunch and were either kicked out of rooms or dashed to the most friendly teacher in the vicinity. Sometimes, when we were being exceptionally good, they released us outside into the courtyard for the last few min of lunch and treated it as recess. I noticed during a competition that most of us were being more hyper than the other schools' kids whenever we went to different places. It honestly made us so jealous of the freedom they had. I remember on the first day of school in 8th grade when 10 students were sent to ISS because they lacked a belt. I passed by a girl whispering to her friend, "This school's strict." Good luck.

This hell hole known as E.D. Walker Middle cares none about what happens to these students. As a scholar here events such as students caught having sex,smoking weed in the restrooms,teachers threatening and insulting students is just normal behavior at this school in which no punishment is necessary..

I'm a parent and i hate Dallas ISD its put to much pressure on us. the parents would rather it be were the children could wear anything they desire to school cause they have tons of close in the closet but every year and monthes just for DISD ONLY we have to buy uniforms over and over again. I think its just stupid. Carrolton is way better they dnt have uniforms. I would rather switch schools.

We have a 6th grade girl that was having issues at another Dallas ISD middle school with bullying, lazy administration and an overall lack of structure in the school. Since being at E.D. Walker she has excelled and bloomed like a flower. She is now an A, B Honor Roll Student, Commended on Reading TAKS and 100% on Math TAKS. She is in honors math and works hard to do her homework to the best of her abilities. The administration including everyone from the support staff, security, administration and the teachers has been a strong positive influence on our Daughter. We are very much appreciative of this school and we highly recommend this school to anyone looking for a good Middle School educational experience in Dallas ISD. Thanks to all and it is nice to see a school being run properly in Dallas.
